FINE & DESIGN BINDINGS
The Book Trade Elevated to Its Finest
Bookbinding is a trade. When this trade is transformed into an art form, it becomes Fine Binding or one step further, Design Binding. Taking an antiquarian or collectible book and giving it a one-of-a-kind binding, setting it apart from all others, in any collection in the world, makes your book inherently unique. BOOKFORGE can do that for you. Edward Patrick Kranz has a solid background in fine art, design, and bookbinding. The combination is impressively magnificent.
